You know my sitting down and my rising up; You understand my thought afar off. You comprehend my path and my lying down, and are acquainted with all my ways.
Psalm 139:2-3, Jeremiah 23:23-24, Job 13 – 16
Grief counselors recommend listening when comforting the suffering. Listening is a selfless, empathetic act, a way to be silently present: “You are not alone in your pain; I am here with you.”
God is like the listener—always there, listening to our thoughts and words, letting us know we are not alone. He is “our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble” (Psalm 46:1). Nowhere in the Bible is God’s “very presence” more beautifully expressed than in Psalm 139:1-16. When David was troubled by the adversaries of God who sought to discredit Him, he poured out his heart to God. In doing so, David recounted all the ways God was present with him, always ready to know and understand his thoughts. God was omnipresent—always and everywhere present—to David and had been from the moment of his conception in his mother’s womb (verses 13-16).
If you find yourself alone today, or in a troubling place, know that God and His great and precious promises are with you (2 Peter 1:4).
God is either a present help or He is not much help at all.
